- CTCatriona· July 28th, 2025The tour to the Orkneys involved substantial road mileage. The Orkneys themselves were fascinating. Unfortunately, my accommodation there was sub-standard. Elsewhere the accommodation was fine. Transport: the bus was relatively comfortable but the AC was substandard. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and interesting.Show moreTrip date: July 2025
- David· June 6th, 2025Well planned. Driver/guide changed the timing of specific points of interest to avoid the crowds. Took different routes to suit the travellersShow moreTrip date: May 2025
- SMScott· May 10th, 2025We had a great time with Andy & the other travelers on our Orney tour! The bus was comfortable, with plenty of stops to take in the beautiful Scottish countryside. Orkney was fascinating, lots of standing stones and relics from the people living there 5000 years ago. Day 2 was a bit long due to the ferry ride and the remoteness of Orkney. But that paid off the next 2 days. Andy was great, interesting, funny, informative, accommodating to the travelers. Highly recommend!Show moreTrip date: April 2025
- Lauren· May 9th, 2025This tour exceeded my expectations on all counts.

I loved the music the driver played throughout the journey eg scottish. We should rotate seats and not stay in the same seat as some of us never had a chance at the window.Show moreTrip date: September 2024

Asked on November 27th, 2024Does this tour include any castles? Not simply a drive by but a walk through?
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written November 2024
There are no castle tours as part of the official itinerary on this tour. You will likely see many as you are driving about the country but there are no visits scheduled. That being said, our tours are very flexible so if there is demand from passengers on board the bus to visit a castle, then this could possibly be arranged. If you speak to your driver-guide while on tour they can advise you.

Asked on November 20th, 2024I would like to book a tour of Scotland starting in Edinburgh on 17-19 of July 2025. I will be in North Berwick the week before for a golfing holiday. My question is: can I deposit my golfbag somewhere for the period of the tour booked with you because I gather it will not be within the (understandable) luggage restrictions.
- Rabbie's ToursOperator•Written November 2024
There are several places where you can store luggage.
